After a highly successful second European edition at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in April (read our report), Frontières returns to the Fantasia International Film Festival for its sixth edition, which will take place 23-26 July in Montreal.

Frontières is the first and only co-production market to connect North America with Europe in an environment specifically focused on genre film production and financing. Frontières marks its return to Fantasia with an expanded project line-up that will allow more projects to participate in live pitch sessions.

Following the announcement of a first wave of projects, Frontières is pleased to announce an additional 13 projects from a strong cross-section of experienced and emerging directors and producers from across North America and Europe, including Larry Fessenden, Peter Phok and Jennifer Jonas.

These projects join a line-up of previously announced titles from John McNaughton, producers Michael Roiff and Ritesh Batra, director Srdjan Spasojevic, and producer Rob Cotterill.

Industry Registration for Frontières and the Fantasia Industry Rendez-Vous is now open (Market guide listing deadline: 18 June).
